Just came out the back end of a forced three year long distance (loooong distance - USA to Germany) with my partner while I postdocced here in the States and she did her PhD in Germany. Both of our families are back home in New Zealand.

My advice to you is threefold

A) have an endgame. This is critical. Have a timeframe/exit plan on the distance closing.

B) total trust. If you don't, it's gonna blow up in your face.

C) regular visits. We did every three months, and that was probably too infrequent.

If you don't have all three of those, :rip:

your relationship, I guess.
